Frequently asked questions
What are white fillings?
White fillings are a type of filling that can be made to look as close as possible to the natural tooth colour, so that is aesthetically pleasing, being almost invisible. Along with other varieties of fillings, it is one of the least invasive restorative dental treatments currently available that is very popular.
What are white fillings made out of?
Also known as dental composite they are made of a pliable tooth-coloured resin with highly adhesive qualities that are effective in filling cavities. It is made from a blend of plastics and fillers such as silica and glass particles and as a result, the colour can be customised. The material is biocompatible and there is no risk of mercury exposure unlike in the past.
What is the difference between regular fillings and white fillings?
The main difference is that white fillings are less visible when compared to amalgam fillings. While fillings can also cause less post-treatment discomfort or sensitivity and are less prone to cracking. However, they do not last as long as silver or gold fillings but are more affordable. Amalgam fillings can hide signs of further tooth decay from X-rays, which does not happen with white fillings.
Do white fillings get stained over time?
Yes, white fillings do stain over time. Being the same colour as natural teeth, they too can dull and stain over time which then will require replacement. This is especially true of white fillings made with older compositions. As technology advances white fillings are constantly evolving into better versions with longer periods before the fillings stain.
How long does it take to place white fillings?
A simple white filling should take about 20 minutes and not more than an hour. However, it will depend on the number of fillings you are having done at a time. The process involves placing the filling, being moulded to match the tooth contours, curing under the light to harden and then trimming and polishing to match your natural tooth.
How long do white fillings last?
White fillings provide decent longevity with the capacity to last between 7 to 15 years with good care. Maintaining your oral health will help the white fillings last longer. However, at some point, you will need to have them replaced.
How often do you need to get fillings replaced?
Even though they are not made of metal, white fillings are durable and can be replaced as many times as needed. In an instance where the hole becomes too large and requires more filling than there is a natural tooth, replacing the filling will be difficult. This is because the tooth will no longer be strong enough to hold the filling.
Are white fillings painful?
It is normal to feel some sensitivity immediately after the filling is placed but is a minimal discomfort which can be managed with over-the-counter medication such as Ibuprofen or Tylenol. If you are a rare occasion where the discomfort continues then do get in touch with your dentist as soon as possible.
Can you eat and drink normally once you receive the fillings?
Immediately after the white filling has been placed it would be best to wait about 2-3 hours before eating or drinking anything. After that, you can eat as you would normally, but it would be advisable to be a little careful when biting. Also, avoid very hard or crunchy food for a while just till the filling settles properly.
How much do white fillings cost in Canary Wharf?
Prices will defer according to the type of tooth that needs filling and the extent of the damage that needs correcting. The cost will also change if you are restoring a crack in the tooth. Generally, prices will range between £40 and £200 but check with your chosen dental practice to have a proper idea of how much it will cost for your specific procedure.
